Can someone please tell where the hell Andrew Robertson is? Why is he not even making match day squads? Have I missed something? Does Klopp not like him?

He isn't in the squad because he has to prove himself and also because Moreno has started the season well. If last nights performance impacts Morenos form then perhaps it is a chance for Robertson to stale a claim.

Robertson is not the answer to our LB problems. A backup option at best. Moreno is no great shakes but he fits better into the team than Robertson who does not have much of an understanding with Mane on the left flank. He was simply a cheaper option signed as Klopp wanted to spend big on VVD and Keita.

Moreno has been decent this season which is an improvement. Where people get the he is playing well or has been one of our best players bewilders me. He is part of a defence that has conceded 17 goals in 12 games. In the 3 seasons he has been here his bad games have outweighed his good. For 1 of them seasons he was second choice left back to a central midfielder. But yeah he's had 7-8 decent games this season so let's stop questioning him as surely he is the answer to our left back problem.

Jayden,

Good point, well made!

As you say, 7-8 games good games over 3+ seasons do not justify a regular place in the 11.

Have to disagree with you over Moron-o being ‘decent’ this season; he’s been better than normal, for him, so IMO that’s average and only the minimum requirement.

Its not enough to warrant a prolonged 1st team place though and changes in this position simply MUST be of the highest priority come January.

Jayden and Jim, the logic your using is the same logic that kept Rooney in the United team and the England squad for years after he wasn't good enough, sure Moreno has been poor in past seasons but he's been decent this season and our best option at LB.

But he's not our best option at left back
And far from it Robertson is a much better defender, and right now that is what we need somebody who can defend.

T-Diggity,

I fail to see why your “Rooney being in the Utd and England team for years after he wasn’t good enough” comment has anything to do with Liverpool’s LB situation? Let alone it making any sense!

Our ‘logic’ is that Moron-o is simply not of a good enough standard for us. if we have aspirations of challenging for the top 4, let alone the league title, therefore must be replaced as soon as possible.

Teams know he is vulnerable, will continue to target him and it makes no sense not to address that as a matter of urgency.

Robinson deserves to be given a chance, I’ll reserve judgement on him until he’s had a number of successive appearances.

As for Moron-o, he’s had 3 years at the club and has consistently shown he’s not good enough. with a few “decent” games mixed in.

He, along with Mignolet, Matip and Klavan, is not a Liverpool-standard player!

if Klopp had brought in a quality left back, then that player would be playing, simple,
only he didnt, Klopp needs a word in his ear .

Jim, the reasoning for my comment was that Rooney was shoehorned in to United and England sides that he wasn't fit to play in for years based on his performances from previous years, despite the fact he was past it. You're judging Moreno on his previous seasons at Liverpool. Sure, he can be a bit of a liability but from what I've seen so far this season he's has improved going forward, which I get doesn't really factor in to this argument, but more importantly he seems to be defending a lot better this year, especially as he seems to have cut out that silly trait of tackling from the wrong side. Don't get me wrong, Moreno has infuriated me in the past but I'm sick of seeing people blast players for one bad 45 minutes when he has shown a solid improvement this season. I too would like to see more of Robertson to see what he's made of, but I really don't see the point of casting players out based on 45 minutes of an otherwise good season. He may not be of the quality we need to win titles but he's a player at our club and we should support him, haven't players like Lucas shown you that they can turn it around?
